Al, the above is what I find most interesting about your post.. I agree, and I too have problems with the Patriot Act, do we need to go after the terrorist, YOU BETCHA, but I've got problems with some of the Patriot Act and how it was passed. And the Privatizing of certain aspects of a "war" I have a problem with as well.. especially Halliburton.
I've been reading through this site for several days now.. was compelled to register and post finally.. I'm starting to really like this site.
We need to spread the word, I'm very interested to know what others in our community feel about these and other subjects which affect us all.
